I’m going to be a stater of the obvious right now and say the holidays are a busy time. For everyone. So to help myself out, I introduced my son to multi-tasking.

I printed off these gift wrap sheets (on 11”x17” paper) which he gets to have fun coloring and at the same time it’s distracting him from destroying whatever project I’m working on (ahem, online gift shopping).

If you need to keep little hands busy and want some cute gift wrap while you’re at it – these patterns are ready for you to download, print, and distract with. Bonus, your mom will love receiving her gift wrapped in a piece of art from her grandchild.

This is such an adorable idea! I’d love to use washi tape to attach a row of crayons to the gift box, tape large sheets on a wall for a coloring activity (great for parties), or use as a tablecloth on Christmas morning at the kids table.

Do you know if this size file would work to print it at Staples as an engineering print (a 3×4 or 4×6 foot poster size)?
